A Pile of Fingers (free) 04:53
lyrics
download
Everyone peers down the sights of a rifle And fingers fall off into mud covered piles Shadows appear at the edge of the clearing They're coming on over, they're coming on over the fence They won the war on the 14th of April The barricades fell over our kitchen tables And when it was over they called to the general We can't find the homes where we buried our hearts in the spring Our friends and our neighbors Run for cover run for cover in the cold These days are over I called to my friends At the end of the summer from the side of a mountain A monument stands at the edge of the clearing I've been there before and I never will go there again I saw you in a window, you're praying with white pallid Hands for the neighborhoods broken machinery You've been here too long and the city is reaching With mud covered fingertips pulling your branches down Our friends and our neighbors Run for cover from each other watch them go

The Town That We Were From (free) 02:26
lyrics
download
From this bunker i will run To feel the wind on my bones And in the town that we were from That is where we'll make our homes

The Farm (free) 02:08
lyrics
download
The farm is far away From the war and the old plague The summer takes me home From the winters ancient drone And the deafening hum of an aeroplane The deafening hum of an aeroplane The army took your heart Through the trenches in the dark They march into our homes To unearth their skeletons You're still giving your life to astronomy You're still giving your life to astronomy
